Wayne, is there any way to get handbrake to output xvid avi files?
The only options I have are mp4 and mkv<br>

<div>Of course, if you want something more Linux-y, you can
pickup 1st Gen AppleTVs on ebay for around the 60 quid
mark and stick Ubuntu or whatever you like on it. Downside
to me in that perspective is that the 1st Gen is a bit
bigger and uses more power for very little in the way of
additional features.</div>

<blockquote type="cite">There are settings
you could google out for ffmpeg to rip a
dvd direct to avi, for instance:
<div>
<p style="font-family: 'Times New
Roman'; font-size: medium;">
* You can transcode decrypted VOBs:</p>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New
Roman';">
<pre>ffmpeg -i snatch_1.vob -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800k -g 300 -bf 2 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k snatch.avi
</pre>
</span>
<p style="font-family: 'Times New
Roman'; font-size: medium;">This is a
typical DVD ripping example; the input
is a VOB file, the output an AVI file
with MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio. Note
that in this command we use B-frames
so the MPEG-4 stream is DivX5
compatible, and GOP size is 300 which
means one intra frame every 10 seconds
for 29.97fps input video. Furthermore,
the audio stream is MP3-encoded so you
need to enable LAME support by
passing <code>--enable-libmp3lame</code> to
configure. The mapping is particularly
useful for DVD transcoding to get the
desired audio language.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'Times New
Roman'; font-size: medium;">So once
you have the VOBs off the disc,
transcoding is fairly straightforward
using ffmpeg it seems (provided your
version already has lame support,
fairly sure I didn't have to compile
it from source when I did it last, but
I can't remember if I used mp3 audio
or not...).</p>

Thanks for all the responses so far.<br>
<br>
I tried dvd::rip and found it very
complicated. It failed to rip the
dvd, which I think has more to do
with incorrect settings than the dvd
itself. I also tried k3b and found
it easy to use but it also failed to
rip the dvd.<br>
<br>
To answer the question about the
output. All I want is an avi file of
the main feature. The kids have a
load of dvd's and no respect for
them. I want to get them all onto a
pc for them to watch then hide the
dvd's away from them :)<br>
<br>
I will let you know if/when I
succeed.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Whilst I haven't got any
actual experience with this to
confirm if it should work or
not, my best bet would be look
at Handrake - <<a

moz-do-not-send="true"

- which is a lovely little
cross-platform transcoder that
I've used to transcode all my
DVDs into Matroska file
containers for playback via
XBMC frontends.<br>

IIRC Handbrake has come up
fairly regularly on the Myth TV
users list. On the other hand,
AnyDVD is frequently recommended
for it's ability to handle stuff
that others don't.<br>

It's my understanding that,
under Linux (with libdvdcss2)
the decoding should already be
done for you (as it's needed
to play the DVDs) so you just
just be able to open the disc
in Handbrake and go on from
there.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Indeed. In theory all you need
to do is copy the disk (either
dd it to an image file, or copy
the video_ts folder). Watching
the comments on teh Myth list,
it's clear that most commercial
DVDs have something 'broken' so
as to stop this. Hence the
variety of tools to work around
this and "fix" the breakages.<br>
<br>
The other thing to consider is
... do you want a video file of
the main feature, or a complete
copy of the DVD with menus,
extras, etc.<br>
